- I am listening to the book: The Secret Symbol by Dan Brown. It very cool to hear about Washington and how steeped in history and mystery it is. This is a cool 3d rendering of the capitol.
- It's a pitty something so sacredly held by our nation is the home of spineless individuals.
- My coworker and I are currently on an a-ha kick with The Living Daylights.
- Now that I had a somewhat first hand dealing with the NFL and their 'copyright' to the word Super Bowl... all the advertising for 'The Big Game' sticks out like a sore thumb to me. Read my story here...
- I'd say that probably 25% of downtown Decatur is vacant. This is saying something because downtown Decatur is a VERY busy place. No one can keep their small boutiques (or whatever) open in this economy.
- I tried the new(ish) Panada Buffett where the former Home Cookin' and former Fat Daddies bar, as well as the former Rockin R bar is located. Opinion... meh.
- Wow. I was trapped at home for 4 days... work seems awfuly nice right now.
- My PTO took a nasty hit.
- I tried to do some stuff around the house to offset my confinement blues like cleaning, laundry, etc.
- Funny how we love to be at home... but for only so long.
- 4 days without a real soda... YIKES!
- Mother Nature really screwed Jerry and Arlington didn't she?
- Millions upon millions lost to the weather.
- I'm glad the Superbowl is over.
- Is the NFL a mafia style entity?
- They seem to have control over EVERYTHING and they refuse to be accountable... oh wait, that's like the government. OH SNAP!
- Is it just me or is the Souper Bowl halftime show not as big as it used to be? When I was a kid it used to be a really BIG thing. Now it's hype that is created by the media.
- Stayed the night at WinStar (or should I say LoseStar) again. Nothing new to report, my luck still stinks.
- I think I should decide that I will not go gambling ANYWHERE where it takes me more than 10 minutes to reach the location. I think it will save me lots of money.
- I had a poker party for coworkers on Saturday. Its very embarrassing to have them drive through New Fairview to get to my house... Did I mention I live there?
- There was a strange sight Saturday at the 114 West turn off of 287. There was an accident but apparently it involved a couple of large vehicles so by the time I got there they were sanding the muddy road to get traction for the mega-tow truck and they had a big dumpster with people picking up all sorts of trash on the road. I'm sure there's an interesting story there.
- Anyway I was heading to Giant Burger when I saw that mess. They were VERY nice there. I am guessing they are 'economy-proofing' themselves by pleasing customers.
- They have always been nice, they were just EXTRA nice this time.
- Their burgers are Giant, just like it says.
- Watched bits of the Superbowl while strolling the casino, not too interested.
- I did notice that the stadium they were in was very bland. I can't wait to see what happens when it is in Arlington next year. I'm sure Jerry will pull out ALL the stops.
- Everyone was going on and on about how Louisiana needed this because of Katrina BLA BLA BLA. So, you are telling me this win will mean all those abandoned, run down neighborhoods are going to get fixed because some grown men threw a ball around?
- Hype.
- I just think winning a Superbowl = good news for memorabilia sellers in the area + good news for local economies where the game is held (for about 2 weeks). That's ALL.
- Hype.
- Can you tell I'm not into sports. I am in a VERY SMALL minority but I am sticking to my guns. I think professional sports is a waste of time.
- I think college sports is a tragedy. If they spent the money on academics how many cures could they have found by now? How many decent presidents would there be?
- Yes yes I realize sports brings money into a college, but still, they focus on it too much.
